A public health and economic crisis has been generated in both high and low resource settings as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, which began in the beginning of the year 2020. Kenya has taken action in response to the discovery of the first case of the disease on March 12, 2020. The country has implemented both health and non-health policies in order to reduce the direct and indirect effects of the disease on its population. In spite of this, the whole health care system in the country has been affected in both positive and negative ways as a result of this. Improved investments throughout the many building blocks of the health system are required for effective pandemic preparedness for future responses. These building blocks include human resources for health, financing, infrastructure, information, leadership, service delivery, and medical products and technologies.
